The Springfield Board of Education in Missouri reportedly has accepted a $1.195 million bid to demolish vacant structures and a pedestrian bridge.
Courtney Construction LLC of Mountain Grove, Missouri, has been awarded the contract to demolish vacant structures and prepare the site so it can become the new Pipkin Middle School, according to a report by the Springfield News-Leader.
According to the report, the planned middle school will be located on an 8.86-acre site it purchased for $8 million from the General Council of the Assembly of God. Structures on the site formerly served as the home of a Methodist church. In addition to taking down the former church, work also includes removing utilities, parking lots, sidewalks, trees, landscaping, fencing and an existing pedestrian bridge.
The school board voted unanimously to approve the demolition package. A notice to proceed is expected to be issued Feb. 26 and construction of the new, 115,000-square-foot school building is expected to be completed in 2027, the report says.
A current Pipkin Middle School building will at that time likely become vacant, with the report indicating its fate has not been decided.
